You’ve already picked the location for your next group outing (Santa Monica of course). All that’s left now is to figure out your activity for the day—preferably something active, fun, unique, and maybe even cultural.
Done and done.
With a bike tour from the Santa Monica Bike Center, your group could be exploring some of the city’s most cultured destinations all while pedaling away under the California sun. Here are some of our recommendations:
Sweet Spots Tour
To experience Santa Monica off the beaten path, look no further than the popular Sweet Spots tour. A guided journey lasting about 3-4 hours, this fun-filled tour takes bikers through charming shopping districts, landmark neighborhoods, and hidden culinary gems. Delicious goodies from four distinguished shops are the perfect reward for an active day of exercise and exploration.
Urban Farming Tour
Urban farming has taken the country by storm in recent years and Santa Monica is at the thick of the action. Explore this progressive movement with a guided journey through the city’s most distinguished fruit and vegetable gardens—featuring state-of-the-art agricultural technology, energy efficient techniques, and countless varieties of local produce. It’s an inspiring ride that will give you a whole new perspective on modern food and farming.
Street Art Tour
Those with a taste for the arts will feel right at home on the historic streets of Venice Beach, just a short ride south from Shutters and Casa. Pedal away with the Street Art tour and you’ll be immersed in an inspiring world of all things visual and artistic, from stunning architecture to West Coast legal graffiti to world-renowned street artists. As you’ll soon find out, there’s a reason Venice Beach is considered one of the country’s most creative and eclectic communities.
